Video playback/Compiled Problem
Ok heres the thing. I’m using sony vegas plat 9.0, and i use a sony camera. So the files from the camera work with the program right out of the camera. Whenever i play the files (which are .m2ts) on PMB, or over the preview in the Explore tab when i click on a file, the quality is PERFECTLY smooth, and the quality is top notch…. now when i go and compile a video on sony vegas using the best settings (HD, and 29 FPS, 1440×1080 etc), and watch it back on Media Player, the video clips (Which are recorded in HD) look all motion-blurry, and the frames are all laggy… its hard to explain, but heres a video of what it looks like:
If you watch closely at the edges of the hills, and the water, you can see the frames kinda skipping over each other in a way… its hard to explain, but you can definitely make out a defect in the video.How can i fix this? i really need help on this… I need my videos to be as smooth as possible since i’m making a documentary for my family, and it looks like crap when the video is like this.

Stop the video at about :03 – See the motion blur looking effect? it makes the video look way worse than it actually is (This is not because of youtube! it does this even when i play it on media player)

What frame rate did you use on your camera when shooting? What frame rate are you using in your project properties? It looks like Vegas might be interpolating frames because the frame rate of the source doesn’t match the frame rate of the project or render template.

My camera shoots at a very high frame rate. I’ll check on that.
But yes, i can see how this can conflict the quality of my video

Ok, i tried to find out the framerate. The only thing i could find is that my camera, Sony HDR-CX100, has 60FPS, but im not sure.
When i compile it with 60FPS on the program, it still looks pretty choppy.
Any other things i can do?

Right-click on one of the timeline events with your camera footage and select Properties from the pop-up menu. In the Properties window select the Media tab and look at the bottom to see what frame rate Vegas thinks the clips are.
I don’t think that the Sony HDR-CX100 is capable of 60fps. It should use NTSC 29.970 and your Vegas project settings should be HD 1080-60i (1920×1080, 29.970 fps). Don’t confuse 60i with 60fps. 60i is 60 interlaced fields (odd and even) at 29.97fps.

Yeah.. it says its 29FPS…. but the video just does not looks good when its compiled. Way worse than when i play the raw file over PMB…

What template are you using to render it, and how about your project? Are they both 29.970fps?

Im using these settings in my template (Custom):
1920×1080 – Field Order: None(Progressive Scan) – 29.97 FPS – Full Resolution Rendering Quality: Best – Deinterlace Method: None
And yes, they are both 29FPS.

So you are causing the problem yourself. Use the templates that I suggested two posts back and you should be OK. What you did was shoot interlaced video and then you told Vegas to make it progressive but NOT to deinterlace it… which basically makes a mess. Just use the templates that Vegas provides (unchanged) and you should be OK.
